Incredibly stupid joke

I am a 50-year-old married father of three. While I don't consider myself a religious fanatic, my faith is very important to me. I have been around every type of person by race, gender, age, sexual orientation and religious beliefs. In today's diverse, anything goes culture, I feel that, like a lot of people, I have seen or been exposed to just about everything. I enjoy a good joke, even the off-color and the politically incorrect, sometimes the more the better.

Having said that, I found your cartoon about the Tebow effect to be grossly insensitive, and highly disrespectful to all of Christianity. It is profoundly sad that no one at your paper who is in a position to decide what gets printed could recognize just how insulting it would be. It is an outrage that anyone would think that the image of Jesus Christ's feet nailed to the cross would make a good backdrop for some incredibly stupid joke. Your editors ought to be ashamed of themselves.

I hope you hear from many people like myself, and my expectation is that your paper will issue an apology in the coming days. If not it will then be my decision as to whether or not to continue my subscription.
